Lightless Cataract Surgery at SightMD

Revolutionizing Cataract Care with Invisible Light Technology

SightMD is proud to be the second institution in the world to offer Lightless Cataract Surgery using the Beyeonics One™ Ophthalmic Exoscope—a groundbreaking advancement in eye surgery that allows cataract procedures to be performed without the use of visible light. This innovative approach delivers greater comfort for patients, improves surgical precision, and shows promising signs of faster visual recovery.

What Is Lightless Cataract Surgery?

Lightless Cataract Surgery is an advanced surgical technique that eliminates the use of traditional bright surgical lights. Instead, it uses infrared (invisible) light technology to perform cataract surgery with enhanced visualization through a high-resolution, heads-up display system. This new method enhances the overall experience for both the surgeon and the patient.

At the core of this innovation is the Beyeonics One™ Exoscope, a sophisticated imaging system that transforms how cataract surgery is performed. It provides the surgeon with an immersive, 3D view of the eye, offering unprecedented control and accuracy during the procedure.

Benefits of Lightless Cataract Surgery

Increased Patient Comfort

Traditional cataract surgery involves the use of intense visible light, which can cause discomfort, glare, and sensitivity for patients. With lightless surgery, patients no longer experience the strain of bright lights, resulting in a significantly more comfortable procedure from start to finish.

Enhanced Surgical Precision

The Beyeonics One™ system provides ultra-high-definition imaging and magnification, allowing for superior visualization of ocular structures. This enhances the surgeon’s ability to perform delicate maneuvers with precision and clarity, potentially reducing complications and improving surgical outcomes.

Faster Visual Recovery

Preliminary outcomes suggest that Lightless Cataract Surgery may lead to quicker recovery times and better early visual results. A comprehensive clinical study is currently underway, but early patient feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Developed by Beyeonics, a company with roots in aerospace and surgical navigation systems, this technology introduces a new era in ophthalmic surgery. Surgeons operate via a digital 3D display rather than through traditional microscopes, allowing for greater ergonomics, focus, and control during cataract procedures.
